A CHAPLAIN’S PRAYER
Reading edition
O Lord, I am not worthy to
Be found amid these reddened hands
Who offer an atoning due,
Themselves, to Thee, great martyr bands.
Let me but kiss the ground they tread,
And breathe a prayer above their sod,
And gather up the drops they shed,
These heroes in the cause of God.
Thomas F. Coakley, Lt., Chaplain.
